Hive Build

About Hive Build

A self-hosted consulting operating system that helps small businesses get big-agency results at a fraction of the time and cost.

Our Philosophy

Most small businesses in South Africa are underserved by digital agencies. Big firms charge big fees, take months, and deliver cookie-cutter templates. Small freelancers disappear mid-project.

We built Hive Build to change that. By combining AI-accelerated production with a transparent client review portal, we deliver faster than traditional agencies while giving clients full visibility into every step of the process.

Every deliverable goes through client approval. Every approval is cryptographically certified. You always know exactly what was approved, when, and by whom.

What Makes Us Different

Proactive outreach

We find businesses that need help, rather than waiting for them to find us.

AI-accelerated production

2-4 week delivery vs the industry standard of 8-12 weeks.

Transparent portal

Review and approve every deliverable through your own client portal.

Tamper-proof certificates

Cryptographic proof of what was approved, when, and by whom.

No hourly billing surprises. Clear scope, clear price, clear timeline.
